Yeah, I had seen threads on other sites, but hadn’t paid much attention. 815 HP, that will sell some cars.
Not for me, but good to see manufacturers keeping the hobby alive.

I have seen some resto-mod, 2nd gen Corvair's that are pretty impressive. It's a shame that platform was killed off.
Nice video. I remember that history even though I was a child. Mostly because my dad was despondent when the roadsters disappeared.
I always thought that engine was called the 4 Cam Ford but I do remember the DOHC designation.

Rather than start a new thread, thought I’d add this here.
If you are moving a frame around on your own, here’s what I arrived at for a solution.
If you need sand blasting, paint, weld, or just relocation, moving a frame can be a pain in the back side. This turns it into a wheel barrow.
Just grab the front frame horns and go. Loaded and unloaded this on my own.

Hmm - Anyone consider a couple of Drift Pedals?
Maybe a set of dual shifters on the center console?
Place one aft to "tweak" a bit of pressure in just one side or the other? Joy-stick style?
Plumbing couldn't be terribly difficult.
Or, take the easier route. There is a video of installing a hydraulic handbrake in a Corvette:
Does this qualify as vinage? 1997 McLaren F-1, suppose so...
Full drifting would not lead to better lap-times, but "just a touch" to set up entry; I'm thinkin' it worked pretty good until they were busted.
